I'd assume that they've found from experience that optimistic buyers will pay as much for a "totally fucked but might be a simple fix" wall hanger as for a used but notionally working gun. I actually appreciate the honesty in their descriptions - nobody can say they're not being fairly warned.

Do you? It must get pretty expensive binning lenses multiple times a day.

Sure, it makes a lot of sense for sites to pre-book, and it's not harming my local sites at all as they're regularly at capacity. I just wish they'd call it something other than "walk on" is all, it gives me a pain in my pedantry glands.

Or a thin sliver of pencil eraser, that was my quick fix on site.

Ahoy, and welcome back. Nothing's much changed except that everything's more expensive and "walk on" now means pre-book. But 0.7 TM Joules still outranges 1.14 CYMA Joules.

If you're lucky. They do work, and work consistently, but I'd rather miss with a gas blowback than hit with an AEP.

Then I'd go with a Maple Leaf macaron + omega nub (or XT knock-off). https://www.ak2m4.co.uk/internal-parts/hop-up-buckings-nubs Or the tuppeny fix is to use a piece of biro tube as a nub, or just stack some pieces of electrical tape between the bucking and nub.

The power of desperation? Secret rule change. Either way, it could be entirely legit, just don't treat it as differently from any other purchase, irrespective of the riveting tale being spun.

To my simple mind, a BB that so much as touches the barrel once it's been through the hop would emerge with no, or random, backspin. I'd wonder on what evidentiary basis these claims are being made. What I have observed is that adding some hop can increase muzzle energy, so I fully agree with half-hop while bench testing, or ideally with the hop dialled in for the BB weight.

My TAC-41 has never had a BB under 0.43g run through it. Not once. I couldn't even tell you what "fps" it's slinging them at, only that it yeets properly hopped 0.43g-0.46g at 2.2 - 2.3J. It's CURRENT_YEAR, after all, not the Before Time, in the Long-Long Ago.

And at a gross profit margin knocking on 70% (yes, seventy!😞https://finbox.com/LSE:GAW/explorer/gp_margin/ It's a genius strategy, to create a monopoly that they enforce through their tournaments and shops.

"Mates, come on, mates, give it a try with me, it's awesome, mates, it's my forever hobby, ma- bugger it, I'm out."

Did that come with a CYMA or similar? I regretted every penny that I sunk into NiMh. I mean, it works, but it's old tech, and lithium based batteries deliver higher current, even if the voltage is nominally lower. If you're not sure that you'll stick with airsoft, I'd suggest using the basic charger that came with it - while carefully monitoring the battery to check that it's not overheating while charging. If you're going to drop money, I'd recommend that it be on lithium (Li-Po, Li-Fe or even Li-Ion) plus a decent charger like a SkyRC S65 (other options are available). B6 chargers like the one suggests also work (I have one) but again: they're older tech.

Seller: want it all gone asap Also, seller: would rather be patient and wait for it to sell as I know it’s worth Hey, this is Goat Track Maccy-D's Guy. Now letting slip that this bargain bundle is actually in Croydon, and (of course) collection only.

Well, another way to play is to carry enough pyro that you can be sure of clearing the area and moving up to retrieve it.

Genuinely, thank you. There's far too much "friendly first warning" stuff at sites. Without consequences, the only lesson learned is that there are no consequences.

Ahoy and welcome back.

Really sorry to hear that. The Depot 1.0 site was on the verge of banning all reusables because they were getting nicked and they didn't want the hassle. I have a policy of always retrieving them straight away, even if it's calling myself out and getting lit up in the process. I've had marshals tell me to get them later, but I now politely but firmly insist, or ask them to retrieve them for me. Unfortunate, but it's the reality of humans being dicks until proven otherwise.

Good question, Specnas can be super-fussy. Somewhere on here are the magazine and feed tube measurements I took that show over 1mm of variance between "M4" mags. Doesn't sound like a lot, but it's very noticeable when you put them side-by-side.

It's fine, I have a front wired Perun AB++ in my JG G36. I soldered straight to the trigger tabs on the outside of the gearbox, and didn't even have to open it up. On an external unit like this, with those trigger tabs, it's not relevant whether it's front or rear wired, so long as you can get the wires to the battery (and you can). The AB++ sits just inside the battery space under the handguard, which doesn't help the already cramped space, but I can get a 1400mAh 11.1V lipo in there with it, so it's all good. You can add inline connectors somewhere in the wiring, but I didn't even bother with that.

I'm equally as sure that there must be some sort of pyrotechnics in there, I can't see how you'd get that sparking effect from vapour.

There's a "Contact us", but since they didn't even take down the advert purporting to be a real Glock after I reported it that way, I doubt that there's any sort of actual moderation.

Sniping is fun too, but you're going the right way by playing with an AEG first. It's worth mentioning that YouTube gameplay, and particularly sniping, tends to be heavily edited to the point of being straight up fantasy. I mean, you can have great days where nearly everything hits, but in reality, we're slinging tiny bits of spinning plastic in the wind and rain and physics doesn't care how much we've spent. I'd recommend trying CQB as well if you can, it's a more intense experience - with shorter walks to respawn!

Ahoy and welcome. If you're a spendy sort don't visit the classifieds! Skirmishing is great fun, just go with the attitude that you're there to get shot and call the hits, rather than to reenact the starring role in Extraction, and you'll have a blast. If it's your actual first time, go along and have a listen when they shout out for the rentals - there will be a basic what-to-do briefing before the main brief, the most important parts of which are never, ever remove your eye protection in the game zone, and always take your mags out (pistols) to and fire until they're clear and put them on safe before entering the safe zone. Airsofters tend to be super friendly and keen to help, so if you have any questions, or run into problems with your guns, just ask around and folk will be happy to help you out.
